Restaurants near Elfin Forest Preserve

Excellent Christmas Eve dinner and exceptional service. We enjoyed our dinner and drinks and even indulged in a piece of the lemon coconut cake. Everything was delicious. We actually went back this morning for breakfast and had waffles and bacon and eggs with the homemade biscuit and again everything was yummy and delicious. Highly recommend visiting the Copper Cafe for Christmas or anytime of the year.

What a great restaurant very energetic Darcy the manager was absolutely phenomenal. She was so personable Luca. Our waiter was just as personable. Very friendly. Food was fantastic and the prices were unbelievable. Too bad. I don’t live in the area because I would be a frequent diner. what a great way to spend Christmas Eve. They made it very nice.

Loved the festive decorations and sparkling lights on scale with the large space. The appetizer was on our table when we were seated. A pleasant cup of crab bisque was just enough so that we could still have room for our entree. We both ordered the prime rib ( a huge slab each done exactly as requested), fluffy baked potato, and crispy snap peas. Our server was delightful who kept a perfect pace and checked back with us often. Given it was Christmas Eve and both restaurants were packed, the service and staff were amazing, friendly, calm, and well organized. We truly appreciated the holiday, uplifting atmosphere, good food, and excellent service. What a professional, well planned and smooth operation for an impressive number of diners. Thank you!

This was my engagement dinner with my fiancé, and the experience exceeded my expectations. the staff was so friendly and happy to welcome us, making the meal that much better. The food was outstanding, and overall great dining.

The New England clam chowder in the bread bowl was the best I’ve ever eaten. Our server, Brian, was very friendly and accommodating and made our meal special.
